Jerry the Bear

How can we help diabetic children care for themselves?

Current Project Stage → Build/Test

186,000 children in the US are living with diabetes. This not only means a life-long disease, but children must also quickly adapt to a new lifestyle of restricted foods and daily shots from their parents, which can be confusing and upsetting.

Jerry the Bear prepares children for the changes they will experience. Children learn how to take care of themselves by taking care of Jerry the Bear with diabetes, giving insulin shots, monitoring his diet and measuring glucose levels.
